Oberlander Horse

Intro

Origins

This breed comes originally from war horses of the Roman Empire, but were eventually almost bred out by the end of the 15th century. They share ties with the Noriker, Pinzgauer & Sueddeutsched Coldblooded breeds.

Cross breeding ended in 1900 and the stud book was closed to outside blood. At that point breeding was carefully monitored to fix desired traits within the breed. Today the government owns a herd of certified animals to preserve & continue each family of these old bloodlines.
